Twelve Districts. One Capitol. Twenty-four contestants are chosen to battle each other to their deaths once a year. The Hunger Games, written by Suzanne Collins, is a fabulous story that will keep you reading until the end. Years ago the Capitol was being unfair to these twelve districts, so they rebelled against it. The turnout was harsh for them; their punishment was the Hunger Games. One boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 are chosen randomly from each district to attend the game. Everyone else in the districts are required to watch these innocent children battle to the death.
